典型理论曾经在中国的现实主义文学创作中盛极一时。20世纪80年代以来因其太过膨胀而遭到小说家与批评家的共同放逐。今天是一个文化全球化的时代,本土文化有着被覆盖的危机。文学是一个民族文化的代言人,而“文学是人学”。故重提典型理论在文化全球化的背景下有着极其重要的现实意义:承载民族文化性格,抵御文化全球化。 Typical theories once flourished in China’s realist literary creation. Since the 1980s, it has been exiled by novelists and critics because of its excessive expansion. Today is a time of cultural globalization, and the local culture has a covered crisis. Literature is the spokesman of a national culture, and “literature is human ”. Therefore, to recall the typical theory in the context of cultural globalization has an extremely important practical significance: bearing national cultural character, to resist cultural globalization.
